I was recently reported to the TN BON after an employer reported my positive drug screen. I was a Rn for 23 yrs and had never had a disciplinary action. The screen was positive for both rxs that are prescribed to me and for one that belongs to a family member. I've had 2 severe back injuries and I have been treated with opiates and neurontin for management of the chronic pain for nearly 12 yrs. What type of disciplinary action can I expect? I've not practiced since I resigned in 12/2015 and have no plans to return to practice anytime soon. As I'm not a candidate for surgery, discontinuation of the medications is not an option. The reason for taking the nonprescribed medication was due to a recent job change that left me without healthcare coverage and I could not afford the monthly MD visits or my prescribed medications. Will the BON take this into consideration? Is there a monitoring program that will allow me to take my prescriptions and simply ensure that I do not test positive for others?
